0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The website represents the Amnesty International Hochschulgruppe Bamberg, a local non-profit student group focused on human rights advocacy and education. It provides information about events, campaigns, and ways to get involved, targeting students and human rights supporters in Bamberg, Germany. The site is built on WordPress and uses common plugins and libraries to deliver content and event information. While the site is functional and provides relevant content, it lacks some advanced privacy and security features such as cookie consent mechanisms and explicit security headers.

Overall, the site is consistent with a small non-profit local group and maintains a moderate level of professionalism and trustworthiness.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The group operates as a local chapter of Amnesty International, leveraging the global brand to engage students in human rights activities. Its business model is non-profit and volunteer-driven, focusing on educational events and campaigns. The website serves as an informational and engagement platform rather than a commercial site. The presence of event listings and social media links indicates active community involvement. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers may limit immediate communication but aligns with typical non-profit local group practices. The site does not appear to monetize or use advertising, focusing instead on awareness and activism.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communication. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or HSTS were detected in the provided data, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no evidence of a security.txt file or public incident response contacts, which are best practices for transparency and vulnerability management. The site uses standard WordPress plugins and libraries, which should be regularly updated to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional headers and disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve privacy compliance.
  2. Add and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to provide vulnerability disclosure information and incident response contacts.
  4. Include explicit contact emails or phone numbers for better user communication and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to reduce security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3, using a custom theme 'human' and several plugins including Copy The Code, Easy Fancybox, and SearchWP Live Ajax Search. It uses jQuery and FontAwesome for UI elements and Leaflet for map-related features. The site loads resources from its own domain and trusted sources like s.w.org for emoji support. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and mobile optimization is good. SEO is basic with meta tags and RSS feeds present. Accessibility features are basic but present, such as skip links and ARIA labels. The site could benefit from enhanced security headers and privacy features to modernize its technical posture.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
